As his life stayed black, all he could hear or focus on was the water lapping around him. It made him realize where exactly he was and that made him want to wake up and get away from the water that threatened to take the life away from him. His blue eyes snapped open and searched for his companion, hoping and praying she was alright. He didn't have to look far, because she was right there asking if he was alright and if he could stand. Grunting slightly, he tried to do just that. With a few more grunts, he was able to stand and looked towards Laurel, "I'm alright. I'm alright. Are you?" He countered, looking her over for any injuries. He then turned to the stranger girl that helped save his life.
"Thank you for helping me. This was certainly a mistake, but we should be leaving now." He said politely. He didn't mean to be rude, but he wanted to get as far away from this water as possible and as quick as he could. "Thank you, again," he said again before he started to make his way towards the forest. Glancing back behind him, he made sure Laurel was following and the water was behind him for good this time.
